"The final length of boys may be short due to a rapid advance in epiphyseal maturation"!!! What on Earth? What are they measuring? 203.118.191.178 01:02, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Overall height. A typical adult male might be six feet tall, and these boys are unlikely to reach their full height. (The clue is in the word epiphyseal, which relates to the growth plates in long bones.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:13, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inheritance chart is incorrect

[edit]

Females are unaffected by this condition, but can be "carriers". The chart should reflect this by both color and text. Currently one of the daughters is labeled "Affected daughter" which is incorrect/misleading. She should be labeled "Unaffected 'carrier' daughter" and have a different color than the affected father and boy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.181.61.70 (talk) 02:25, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

When this article receives its much-needed expansion, the Burleigh article may be mentioned. Now Burleigh is an external link, formatted as a source citation, as I somehow could not get the syntax right for an ext. link.--Quisqualis (talk)

Why still only a stub?

[edit]

In light of the detailed article mentioned above, why is this still a stub? There is a wealth of material on this conditon available on line, among which are:

Emedicine
NIH Genetic and Rare Diseases
USNLM Genetics Home Reference
Orphanet

...not to mention the various links associated with each article.--Quisqualis (talk) 00:13, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
